Résumé
My Life as a Human Being by Larry Larstead is a candid and deeply personal memoir tracing a journey from the dust-choked trailer parks of post-war California to the creative heights of Australia's film industry. Born into poverty and dyslexia, Larstead's early years were shaped by chaos, resilience, and a fiercely independent mother navigating a hostile world. With words that turned into mental movies, school became a battlefield, and childhood a volatile mix of mischief, trauma, and grit. From juvenile hall to the brutal confines of Verdemont Boys Ranch, Larstead offers an unflinching look into the cracks of 1950s America's institutions, recounting the painful lessons of survival and rebellion.
His escape from this past-both physically and emotionally-led him halfway around the world, where unexpected success in commercial filmmaking brought prestige and accolades, but couldn't silence the echoes of an unsettled spirit. In this memoir, Larstead writes with humour and raw vulnerability about love found and lost, friendships forged in unlikely places, and the spiritual odyssey that led him to Buddhist teachings and solace on the open sea.
From existential reflections to environmental awakenings, his story is a testament to transformation, self-acceptance, and the enduring belief that meaning is found not in escape, but in navigating life's chaos with compassion, creativity, and an open heart. Told in a voice that's unfiltered, magnetic, and achingly human, My Life as a Human Being is more than a memoir-it's a reminder that every life, no matter how fractured or unconventional, holds the potential for purpose and beauty.
